Great blog as for me. I'd like to read something more concerning that theme. The only thing I would like to see here is a few pictures of such gizmos as gps jammer.

It’s an interesting point, one I follow most of the time. The only time I stop following it is if it’s impacting me in some fashion. For instance, if I have to keep hearing about it, then that person has just made it my business. Or if that person happened to show up with bruises, bloody lips or black eyes; luckily that’s never happened, otherwise I might also be in jail, as I’m very protective of my friends.

And when I do get involved, I don’t directly tell someone what to do. I point out options, and then they get to choose whichever option they wish, even if the option is to keep doing what they’re doing. At that point, they do get to live their life, but if they didn’t want me getting into it, at least I’ll never have to hear it again.

I agree with most of the advice given here, both in the post and in the comments. In general I am really good at minding my own business. And whenever I DO intervene it is always in the form of a suggestion and never meant as a direct critique. Often I will find something good about the other person that I want to help them develop.

Your friends are probably like so many people. They mean well and consciously intend to be helpful, but they have no idea how counterproductive their behavior may be.

Sounds like you’ve grown Karlil. I was guilty of this in my past too, so it is nice to mature & see the light.

Thanks Jonathan. I love the fact that you mentioned respect. We don’t have to agree with others’ decisions, but we can respect their right to make them.
